VISA PROCESS
The Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) code is required when applying for a student visa. You may begin a visa application at any time, but you must wait until you receive your unique CAS before submitting your application.
The university can only send a CAS to students who provide a translated document confirming MESCyT financial sponsorship.
CAS can take several weeks to be issued so if you have submitted all the required documents do not worry your CAS is on it's way .
